Award-winning Nollywood actress and entrepreneur Annie Macaulay-Idibia has sparked fresh speculation about the state of her marriage to music legend Innocent “2Baba” Idibia after silently changing her Instagram display name from “Annie Macaulay-Idibia” back to simply “Annie Idibia”.
The subtle but significant change, first noticed by fans and bloggers on Wednesday morning, comes less than 48 hours after Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan openly confirmed a romantic relationship with 2Baba and shared intimate photos and videos of the pair together in Abuja and the United States.
Annie, who has remained completely silent on social media since the scandal broke, had consistently used the double-barrelled surname “Macaulay-Idibia” since marrying the African Queen singer in 2012. The quiet removal of “Macaulay” has been widely interpreted by fans as a symbolic distancing from the Idibia brand at a time when 2Baba’s alleged romance with the Kogi-born senator continues to dominate headlines.
As of press time:
Annie Idibia’s verified Instagram handle (@annieidibia1) now displays only “Annie Idibia”
Her bio remains unchanged and still contains loving references to 2Baba and their children
The actress has disabled comments on all recent posts and has not uploaded new content since November 29, 2025
Netizens have flooded X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with reactions, with trending hashtags #AnnieIdibia and #2BabaNatasha reaching over 180,000 mentions combined in the last 24 hours. Many supporters have praised Annie’s “classy silence,” while others speculate the name change signals the beginning of a formal separation process.
Neither Annie Idibia nor 2Baba has released an official statement addressing the Instagram change or the ongoing controversy surrounding Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s public declarations.
Close associates of the couple reached by press have declined to comment, citing respect for the family’s privacy during this sensitive period.
